Disturbed singer David Draiman has revealed that the band are preparing to enter an indefinite hiatus.
Speaking to KQXR in Boise, Idaho, Draiman said the band were looking at an extended hiatus, and had “some things going on internally …personal things going on.” Later Draiman took to Twitter to elaborate: “We don’t know what we’re doing yet,” he wrote. “All I can say is that we’re certainly going away for a long while.”
Draiman said the band would not be undertaking its Music as a Weapon tour in 2012, but might consider leasing the brand name out to other bands to use. “It has kind of become its own entity,” Draiman explained. “It’s something we have talked about in the past, and that’s possible. But you’re not gonna see a Disturbed tour for a while.”
There have been several Music as a Weapon tours to date, in 2001, 2003, 2006, 2008, 2009 and this year, featuring bands such as Alter Bridge, P.O.D, Stone Sour, Drowning Pool, Suicide Silence, Killswitch Engage, Korn, Trivium, Lacuna Coil and Sevendust. The tour takes its name from the song “Droppin’ Plates,” from the band’s 2000 debut album, The Sickness.
